i love the front lip....really cant see the rear diffuser. Very nice. Not a big fan of HRE's, but how much do they weigh? That might change my mind.

nineteens average around 20-21 lbs in the 5xx R series, so should be similar to that if those are 19s.

I think those are 20's. Does anybody know whether you have to add a lowering module to put 20's on a 55?

Wow, 20-21 lbs?? That's light for a 19in rim! I always thought the HRE were heavy, heavy wheels....

Their competition series are even 1 to 2 lbs lighter and use titanium fasteners to bring the rotational mass of the wheel closer to the hub.

I thought HRE's were heavy as well until I picked one up one day. I could literally pick up one 19" wheel with one or two fingers, but add in the weight of the whole wheel and tire than we have a different situation.

That is a great color!!

Its hard to make out the difference in the rear diffuser. That splitter should help high speed stability....although stock the SL55 is rock solid at speed.
